av-
From the Norman Conquest (rarely before) to c 1625, v was treated merely as an initial shape of the letter u, which had the phonetic value of both u and v, e.g. vnto unto, vile vile, ouer over, full full, loue love. Hence, during this period, au- was commonly written for av-. All such words are here entered under av-. |
